Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Briefly rinse rice.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/2 cups (2 3/4 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 18-20 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (use whole lime for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. 
  • Quarter mushrooms.
Roast veggies
3
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add peppers, mushrooms, onions and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, if you like, then toss to combine. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, stirring halfway through, until tender.
Cook beef
4
  • Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • When hot, add beef and Chili-Cumin Spice Blend. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed, using 1/4 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Add tomato sauce base, half the garlic and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) water. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Make lime crema
5
  • To a small bowl, add sour cream, lime juice and half the lime zest. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
6
  • To the rice, add remaining garlic and remaining lime zest, then fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide rice between bowls.
  • Top with beef and roasted veggies.
  • Drizzle lime crema over top.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if you like.
